They wouldn't have figured it out, if it weren't for some total fluke, but
he doesn't say that. He's getting better at not saying everything that pops
into his head, at least around Derek, for much the same reason he tries to
be straightforward when answering a question. Derek listens. And Derek
takes everything all the way to heart. It isn't entirely his fault. They
all suck at this, they're all totally new and have no idea what they're
doing. They're just kids. Even Derek.
"We should tell Scott." The words seem unconnected to anything, but there's
context, he swears. "If we're going to do this, we need to tell him. If he
isn't with us, and he doesn't know, he's just collateral, or going to get
in the way." Or assume Derek is doing something horrible, because Scott has
some sort of weird rage boner when it comes to Derek. Stiles really doesn't
get it. But...Scott's never been the most rational of dudes. "And honestly,
if we're taking on an entire alpha pack...we could probably use the help."
Because he so obviously isn't getting left out of this. He owes Erica, in
some vague, malleable kind of way, a faint sense of guilt nudging at his
spleen, or something equally squishy and uncomfortable. It doesn't matter
just how human and breakable he is. That's all there is to it.
